We have both read the geneaology in Matthew where it says 'such and such is the father of...' etc. 'and Joseph is Mary's husband'. So nowhere does it say Joseph is Jesus' father, which is a good thing because that means Mary is a virgin. Now, how did your 'study' make you conclude Jesus is from the same bloodline as David?

Because one of the two genealogies was Mary's and it goes back to David.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
I am thinking that that is the whole issue...atheists "study" this tome of fiction, cross reference it with historical evidence, archaeological evidence and present the findings so those who insist on being emotional two year olds can say.....

Speaking as some one who has read the bible cover to cover, a lot of sections are quite dry reading and can put you to sleep. Some of these sections would be for example; the book of Leviticus, A lot the writings of the "prophets" and the New Testament Epistles.
So I cant blame many Christians for not reading the bible cover to cover.

Oh...I can, with all the bullshit that gets spewed out, supported by, and pushed for by the soldiers of the lord they'd better know every damned jot and tittle in their little snuff story. Only a moron signs a contract without reading it....
(a hard lesson to learn..lol)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nope. Nope. It was Joseph whose bloodline goes back to David. Are you sure you've read the book? Lol
He read it but clearly cannot understand it. Like most shitwits, G-C sees what he wants to see without absorbing the nonsense that is really in front of him.

It's what they are bred to to believe from childhood. They aren't taught to think about it too much, or pay attention that much in church. If they really did read it cover to cover and had at least an IQ of 50, they would begin to doubt their previously unquestioned faith.
